Sig says from Sacramento, are you part of the NOR-CAL baja group?
I have seen videos of some of there runs that Greg U has posted on UAC. looks like a bunch of fun and I miss it.
That is one of the reason I am selling race car and we are building from scratch a "street" baja so we can "play" and not get chased down by the tree police for no license plates.
Keep up the great work and post more pix please. 
Mike

Hey, I missed that run. Glad you posted it up. Car fly's good I think. 
UAC is more drag/street but a good place to learn something new.
I have been lurking around on the norcal baja site but have not signed up yet. My sig is mostly the same on other forums but on STF I am 560.
Mike

Speaking of that I was wondering if you still have that set of shock towers? Will be they be worth the challenges of installing on my king beam?
I'm doing my IRS swap on the baja hoping the weather gives me a few hours of dry times so I can weld in the trailing arm pivots.
I really want to meet up with you at P.C. & possibley feel the way your ecotec helps you catch that air |

I should have the shock towers floating around my garage somewhere Ill have to look.
The towers would work good if you planed on running longer shocks.
Im not sure but whenever the club heads out to PC again Ill try to go.

Photos are great, like the idea.
Only problem I have is there is still good paint on the stops....
That tells me that you need to drive the car a bit harder and use the full potential of the suspension..... 
Giving you a hard time there, I still have desert dust on mine so I have no room to talk really...

Allsome!
I love the stance!
We used to race Mini-Stocks down here in Texas. Toyota guys ran 20R heads on 22R blocks for more compression. They were hard to beat! |
